The Cold Commander Cried When He Kissed - Chap 151
Chap 151
Have you ever thought about the lives of 100,000 people?
The morning light was just breaking.
The main square of Baidi Star was already crowded with people.
“Achen, come here.”
A majestic and cold female voice seemed to ring in my ears, and the hand wearing the jade ring waved lightly, calling the young prince to her side.
“These are the best candidates in the new individual soldier trials. Select the ones you value from among them.”
“From now on, they are yours and will follow you without any betrayal.”
The woman’s purple eyes were cold and majestic without even being angry, and her fiery red gold robe made her look so noble that she seemed inhuman.
The young prince had a frivolous look in his eyes and just smiled faintly, “Never betray me? Mother, unfortunately I don’t believe there is such a loyal person in the world.”
He looked down at the individual soldiers in the main square.
Standing upright in the hot summer day, the light screen above his head was playing historical operation highlights in a loop.
This session includes the best from all major galaxies, and the performance is indeed very exciting.
Xie Chen’s eyebrows dimmed slightly, “Otherwise, why would father…”
“It’s good that you have this awareness.” The woman interrupted him without emotion, “There is no one in this world who will never betray you.”
“Then I should…”
Xie Chen’s gaze suddenly paused and fell on a certain soldier.
On the light screen above his head, in the double PK trial, the boy’s figure was as fast as a ghost. With one move of his sword, the opponent was eliminated before he even started.
It achieved a true one-hit kill and directly broke the fastest record for two-player PK.
“Mother, didn’t you say that I was in need of a secret guard? I want him!”
The woman’s purple eyes flickered, “He won the first place in the individual soldier trial, so he will not be your secret guard.”
The top one has a bright future.
Don’t become a ghost in a dark corner.
“If you are not willing, you will never be loyal.”
She saw her son’s slightly lost expression after thinking about it, and a casual smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
“There is a quickest way to get someone.”
“Achen, it’s time for you to learn new skills.”
“It’s called control.”
“…”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty?” Sharon’s gentle voice sounded in her ears, but her tone was too soft to awaken the emperor’s memory.
“Old Deng!”
Xie Chen turned his head to look at her in vain, “What did you call me?!”
“…Your Majesty.” Lady Sharon bowed meekly and calmly changed the subject. “The commander has arrived. He said he wants to talk to you.”
“Send him over.”
Lady Sharon bowed and said, “Yes.”
“Forget it, I’ll go find him.” Xie Chen looked at the huge crowd and walked towards the team of officers on the second step.
“Your Majesty.” “Your Majesty!” “Your Majesty, you are here!”
Wherever Xie Chen passed, the superiors bowed their heads to salute him. He walked towards the young man in the morning light without changing his brow.
In the grand occasion attended by everyone, he was still wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a serious yet slightly casual look, and was talking with the person in charge of the Eighth Galaxy.
He hadn’t worn a commander’s uniform in a long time.
The silver tassels sparkled brightly, making the person look cool and dazzling, and one glance would make people unable to look away.
Xie Chen seemed to have recalled some of his past memories. His mood strangely calmed down. He even wanted to greet him in a rare calm manner, “Commander Shi.”
Shi Ji paused slightly and turned his eyes to look at him.
As they had done countless times before, they stared at each other in front of countless superiors.
In Xie Chen’s heart, he will always be different.
Immersed in such tenderness, when Shi Ji threw a pile of information at him, Xie Chen’s eyes suddenly changed.
“What’s this?”
Shi Ji said coldly, “Your handle.”
Xie Chen lowered his eyes to look at the pile of information. Even though it was so complicated and scattered all over the floor, most people still couldn’t understand a single person. However, the numbers in it were very familiar to Xie Chen.
It’s his pharmaceutical research data!
It had only been a week since the Star League ended, and he had actually figured out what he had been conducting experiments on for two years?
“The galaxy system has always respected the strong, and talent is the most important part. The reason why the previous emperor was unpopular and ultimately failed on the night of the palace coup eleven years ago was because his talent was declining and could not support his position as the emperor of the galaxy.”
“And now you are hiding it from everyone, secretly using potions to control monsters and armies for your own use.”
Shi Ji walked towards Xie Chen in the morning light and stopped in front of him.
The cold tone was as calm as ever.
“Thank you, why?”
Under Xie Chen’s cold and deep gaze, Shi Ji smiled almost mockingly, “Is it possible that your talent is also declining?”
Xie Chen’s heart dropped like a huge rock.
He did not answer the question.
He just asked Shi Ji in return, “You actually chose to threaten me for a traitor who didn’t want to do it?”
Shi Ji didn’t respond.
Xie Chen’s words were almost squeezed out from his gums.
“Even if you get the research data, what can you do? You are so bold to try to convict the emperor based on only one-sided statements. Commander Shi.”
Even though these materials were his leverage, a hard fight would only result in losses for both sides, and it would not be enough to bring Xie Chen down.
Is it necessary for him to do this because of that person?
Shi Ji looked at him calmly, “So I gave the information to you instead of to the elders of the empire.”
Xie Chen was stunned.
He was retreating in order to advance, forcing himself to follow him.
“The son of the admiral who defected from the galaxy has no exact crime. Now everyone in the eight galaxies is waiting for your verdict.”
“I came to see you for no other reason.”
Shi Ji’s expression was calm without any ripples.
“I will determine the charges.”
…
“Wonderful.”
Xie Chen suddenly sneered, “It’s simply too exciting.”
The commander-in-chief of the empire plans every step carefully and will achieve his desired goal no matter what.
If such a person were to become his enemy, he would be the most formidable opponent.
“Commander Shi, look at the people in the audience.”
Shi Ji’s eyes paused slightly as he looked at the crowded crowd in the main square.
“When you were trying every possible way to protect the traitor, did you ever think about the lives of those 100,000 people?”
Xie Chen’s face seemed to finally show the spirit of a monarch, looking down at all living beings with dignity and compassion.
At their feet, countless people had been waiting here early, holding tablets with black and white portraits in their hands.
There are young men and women in their prime, elderly people, and even more children who have not yet grown up.
Shi Ji’s eyes dropped slightly to the delicate and beautiful baby face on the spirit tablet. Before he even learned how to speak, he had completely disappeared from this world.
Xie Chen asked: “Tell me, don’t they have the right to punish the guilty officials?”
Shi Ji didn’t say anything.
A smile appeared on Xie Chen’s lips. He knew Shi Ji too well.
Soft-hearted and full of compassion, he would never abandon anyone’s life as long as he was around.
“Are you pushing me or yourself?”
Xie Chen’s gaze fell on the audience and met that pair of slightly cool and unrestrained peach blossom eyes.
He smiled almost provocatively.
“Let your men withdraw, and I will spare his life for you.”
“But I can never accept such a sinner living an innocent life forever. He should get the punishment and price he deserves. Otherwise, how can you let those 100,000 people rest in peace?”
Xie Chen side-glanced at the quiet young man and whispered in his ear.
“Commander Shi, this is a concession I made just for you.”
From Xie Zhuo’s perspective, it looked like a kiss.
